FAQs regarding Scheduling STEP 3
1. Which block: Should be during vacation eligible block unless this really isn't feasible. If you are in this situation, contact me to discuss 2. How to request: Please request days off for STEP 3 at the same time you request vacation days for that block, and specify what the time is for (STEP 3 does not count as vacation days). 3. Vacation: You can take both vacation and STEP 3 on same block, but ideally should not miss more than 5 weekdays in that block. If it is really important to you to take a full week of vacation in the same block, we may be able to make an exception for one additional weekday for STEP 3, but then you will need to take one of the parts of the exam on Saturday. 4. Timing: It is OK to take the exam in one of the last blocks of the year. As long as you take it by the end of intern year, you will be able to get your license in a timely fashion if you do all the other paperwork on time. 5. Clinic: Try to avoid cancelling FMC clinic for STEP 3, although if this is needed we can do it on a case-by-case basis. 6. Cost: You can get all the fees reimbursed -- here's details from Tami: Step 3 reimbursable via your CME fund. Must have receipt which shows how paid for and scores. Also any educational resource (QBank subscription) are reimbursed as well with a receipt. Licensing is also reimbursable AFTER license is obtained. County pays, this does not come out of CME fund. Once again, receipt, copy of check needed.
